    Well no. Valve is involved in a lot of actual gambling with csgo etc. How they are ignoring and willfully profiting from all of the skin casinos etc. is my biggest problem with them. Despite that they are still one of the best big companies i know of.

        And they purposely target kids with addictive loot crate mechanics and look the otherway while loot/skins are sold on 3rd party sites.

        Maybe GabeN really needs a 7th yacht but maybe he’s just a greedy bastard who wants all the money.

          Same bullshit people use to ban things “for the children” counter strike is not targeted at children, why should Valve prevent people from selling their skins on 3rd party sites?

          Freedom is bad because children? Porn should be banned because children, flavored cigs should be banned because children, flavored alcohol should be banned because children.

          Such a stupid argument

          Edit: To be clear, I don’t like lootboxes and do not play games that use them, I also am not a fan of alcohol or cigs and acknowledge they cause harm, however I see it as a freedom issue, just because I don’t like it doesn’t mean I should decide what others can do with their body within reason. “Your liberty to swing your fist ends just where my nose begins” children are just an excuse to censor things that parents can’t be bothered to stop themselves.
